Revealing the Internalised

What happens to you when you don’t want to let anyone down?
What happens, when you try to hold it all together?
What happens, when you can’t say ‘No’?

So much about how we internalise certain experiences reveals itself in the process of making. Even more so than the finished product itself.

What choice of material do we go with? What do we leave out?
What physical process do we engage?
Do we shove in? Do we rip apart?
What kind of energy are you feeding into your artwork?
Is the object light? Or does it get heavier as you go?

‘The wire altering its shape to allow room for what’s forced in.
Pieces contorted to fit in.
Parts protruding out.
Testing limits.
The more I pushed in, the more I forgot what were in the inner layers.’
